Here is my modified M1911 stuff. I hope you enjoy and if it generates more discussion and submissions I'll be proud!

Good to hear from a connesieur.

But a question - .45 1911 with pen 1-nil ??? Possible? Aree there rounds commonly available that will eat through the NIJ lvl I and up to IIa out there???

The m12 holster has a dropleg extension.it can fit the holster and the mag pouch or a bayonet sheat. What other pouches and equipment are there for the m12 holster system?

Here I made it look nicer what do you think, I added the M3 too

That's great! I'm looking over my stuff and checking to make sure no one else has done anything like it. I'm going to use some for my game premise. I might even have detailed NPCs for another thread!

The 10 mm full power and .45 Super, .460 Rowland. Look in Paul Mulcahy's pages, He has a GDW Jane's library at your fingertips!

I also forgot the 1920's-1960's Remington Hi-way Master, 173gr zinc alloy bullet at 1100fps. Not +P, traded mass for velocity. Highly collectable and expensive, but if antique weapons are in use, so could antique ammo. It is also unlikely Remington would exist to sue hand loaders who copy the round in the T2K/T2013 world.

I wouldn't want to wear a IIA vest and get shot with a .45ACP
these vest are rated for 9x19mm and .40 S&W. While a .45ACP may not penetrate it, you would sustain some serious blunt force trauma from it.

7.62x25mm will pentrate IIA like needle through warm butter.
As I am sure, 10mm, .38 SUPER, .45 SUPER, .460 Rowland, .440 Corbon would also penetrate it.

But quite honestly a lot of calibers with and bullet types can penetrate body armor. A hard ceramic plate is the best bet.

For two years the 7.62X25 was the highest velocity pistol round, until the .357 magnum took that honor.

It goes that way if I stick strictly in the data on my spreadsheet collection. Just one the the many things I fudge.

Learning how detailed the various game mechanics are was the most important thing I discovered. One can know too much about a subject.

If you read the beginning of the Infantry Weapons Guide, GDW confesses to doing so too for desired effects.

I fudge insanely. I power-fudge.

There's room for that. I've been using Fire,Fusion, & Steel. I also stopped worrying about what others have done, since you've done about everything! I just do the math and description even if it overlaps previous work. I should collect it as "Small Contribution II".

Ah, I see. Well, that will save me a lot of head scratching for when your numbers don't match my spreadsheet.
